It solves the issue of `pkg-static delete -afy` but doesn't one of
`pkg-static upgrade -fy`. IMHO option of pkg(8) should be added that
limits target of action to either pkgbase pacakges or non-pkbbase
ones.

BTW, it seems package name of all pkgbase packages starts with
'FreeBSD-'. On the other hand AFAIK ports framework don't prohibit to
add port whose package name starts with 'FreeBSD-'. It seems
confliction of package name may happen between base system and ports.
